NEWS RELEASE
DUPONT ADVANCES INNOVATIVE SOLUTIONS FOR
A SUSTAINABLE FUTURE
Visit us at Chinaplas 2021 to ask about design and processing advancements
made possible with robust plastics portfolio
SHANGHAI, China, Apr. 12, 2021 – Sustainability in innovation, design, sourcing, and
operations will be highlighted in the solutions exhibited by DuPont (NYSE: DD) at
Chinaplas 2021, April 13-16 at SWECC in Shenzhen, China. Featuring advancements
that help enhance applications in automotive, electronic, industrial and consumer
applications, the organization aims to demonstrate how they are innovating today to
create a more sustainable tomorrow.
“Inventing a better now to build a better world for tomorrow is what DuPont’s
sustainability goals are all about,” says Jeroen Bloemhard, Global Vice President
and Chief Commercial Officer of Performance Materials, DuPont Mobility &
Materials. “Beyond lowering our carbon footprint and improving operations for less
waste and better energy efficiency, we are incorporating sustainability practices into
how we collaborate with customers and the supply chain. Plastics stewardship is
essential to our planet and we are committed to ensuring that sustainability is inherent
in everything we do.”
DuPont will be featuring four key areas at Booth G101 in Hall 17:
•
Advanced Mobility – Hybrid and electric vehicles, shared mobility, and
autonomous driving all support a more sustainable future. Come and explore our
automotive showcase that exhibits numerous product families of highperformance plastics for e-motors, batteries, power, and signal electronics,
ADAS controls as well as other powertrain, chassis, interior and exterior
applications. You may also learn more about resin-based technologies for battery
pack components that support battery thermal management, safety, reliability,
durability, and long service life.
We also invite you to our Tech Talk at 14:10-14:30, Tuesday April 13 at booth
R61 in Hall 10. Benjamin Pan, Global Automotive Marketing Manager of DuPont
Mobility & Materials, will be presenting “DuPont Sustainable Offerings: Novel
Eco-friendly Solutions for Plastics.” The talk will feature bio-based materials
including DuPont™ Hytrel® RS (renewably sourced), DuPont™ Zytel® RSLCPA
and DuPont™ Zytel® RSHTN resins.
•
Enabled Connections – Solutions that address high-speed connectivity, safety
and reliability, design flexibility, and sustainability are crucial to the everadvancing use of electronic devices.
DuPont de Nemours, Inc.
We will be highlighting a wide portfolio of plastics that lend themselves to
sustainable design to help make stronger, lighter, and more durable parts that
are easy to process. Included in the portfolio are electrical-friendly, halogen-free
flame-retardant Specialty Nylon (SPN) and Rynite® resins that help enhance
component strength, safety, and durability through better electrical insulation
performance and improved electrochemical corrosion resistance – especially
important for transformers, connectors, integrated circuitry and alkaline batteries.
In addition, we will be featuring color TPSiV® - Soft and flexible unique smooth
feeling thermoplastic elastomers that improve comfort, ergonomics, and design
flexibility with exceptional aesthetics and haptics. TPSiV® elastomers are ready
to use, melt processable, and recyclable. It does not require post processing step
to deliver desired smooth feel and surface finishing.
•
Empower Creativity – DuPont is providing essential innovations to industries and
individuals alike, offering a wide range of technologies that transform industries
and better our lives. Our sustainability goals encompass not only our own
workplace and manufacturing practices but the positive impact that our materials
enable for the everyday person.
The BABYZEN YOYO2 stroller is a good example. This foldable stroller is
designed to absorb vibration and impact from uneven or rough surfaces so
parents can walk their children with ease and confidence. This is made possible
with a best-in-class suspension system made with DuPont™ Hytrel® TPE. The
material provides an optimal combination of flexibility and stiffness that improves
performance and durability with a lighter weight than other plastics or rubber. In
addition to Hytrel®, the BABYZEN YOYO2 features more than 50 parts
throughout its construction, including suspension and mechanical components
made with DuPont™ Delrin® and Zytel® resins, to provide stiffness, toughness,
and wear resistance.
In addition, an innovative portfolio of our world-class DuPont™ Delrin® product family
will be introduced via Tech Talk at 13:50-14:10, Tuesday April 13 at booth R61 in Hall
10 delivered by Leo Wu, APAC Business Manager of DuPont Mobility & Materials. New
Delrin® Renewable Attributed has the potential to be 100% recyclable, enabling financial
and environmental benefits. It also features a lower GWP (Global Warming Potential)
across its lifecycle, confirmed through life cycle assessment (LCA*), due in large part to
the fact that Delrin® Renewable Attributed base polymer is produced from 100% waste
derived bio-feedstock in conformance with ISCC (International Sustainability and
Carbon Certification) mass balance certification.
Delrin® Renewable Attributed exhibits excellent physical properties, ensuring low
system cost, high part performance and extending applications lifetime, which means
less material used in replacing parts and enabling our customers to meet their own
sustainability goals. Components made with Delrin® Renewable Attributed are used in
the transportation, material handling, healthcare industries, and other industrial and
consumer applications.
DuPont representatives are excited for this opportunity to meet in-person with
customers and partners interested in exploring our products, services, technical
capabilities, and overarching support of sustainable practices that influence everything
we do. We look forward to seeing you at Chinaplas 2021 and to collaborating on
Inventing a Better N:OW.
N.B.*: sustainability assessment conducted using a cradle to gate Life Cycle
Assessment (LCA) in accordance with ISO 14040/14044 methodology.
